About

I’ve been on the Bleacher Report for over a year now sharing my ideas and commentary on various topics so I figured it was time to update the bio. I grew up a rabid sports fan in the New York area, attended Boston College and, ultimately worked for several years in the sports marketing industry obtaining plenty of interesting information, about the business side of sports.

I watch any number of sports from football (NFL and NCAA) to hoops (again, NBA and NCAA) to EPL soccer and many sports in between. I have a genuine passion for college sports, particularly the gridiron, and still have season tickets for my beloved Boston College Eagles, despite their BCS shortcomings.

On B/R, I am THE Featured Columnist for Boston College Football as well as a Featured Columnist for Boston College Basketball. Additionally, I have contributed ample material to the NFL community where I submit weekly power rankings and seek team-relevant topics related to position battles, team needs in the draft, or season previews.

Thanks for reading and drop me a comment whenever you like - I guarantee a witty, or at least sarcastic, response...

Beyond B/R, I can be seen and heard at the following places:

  • All Time Sports Moment

    November 20th, 1993 - BC 41, ND 39 - my road trip to South Bend ended with me grabbing a handful of Irish turf

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    see above

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Cy Young - his win total can't be broken, period

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Great question. Ruth b/c of the pitching prowess

  • Unitas or Montana?

    I'm not old enough to do it fairly but Montana's record speaks for itself

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan but Russell doesn't care about this question, that's why he's so great

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    I hate that the old-school Boston media keeps this alive. I comprehend the significance of Orr's contribution but #99 gets the nod

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele - 3 World Cups to 1

  • Federer or Sampras?

    15 - 14 plus Pete never won the French

    Tiger for now, but if it plays out where he doesn't pass the Bear, I will change my answer

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Petty, I guess. Not a gearhead.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    srsly?

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    I'm a happy supporter of the ACC and very glad my school headed for a more prosperous future

    Ironically enough, I was stealing baseball cards. I got caught just the one time, but unfortunately about 70 percent of my baseball card collection is hot.
